Just to clear one up from the last game, Rod Laver was not a dominant tennis player by the 1980s - I was thinking of Ivan Lendl. Whether or not that deserved a DQ is now moot.

I’m gonna take a wild ass guess on this one. The only early 20th Century composer with the initial G I can think of is Gershwin.
No, I’m neither George Gershwin nor his brother Ira.

Hitchhiker’s Guide references…can’t remember any characters with the initial G…
